Which Should You Buy?
A divisive floral, Le Baiser by Lalique is either a beautiful, classic violet-rose bouquet for a refined lady, or a sickly sweet, old-fashioned scent fit only for your grandma. People feel strongly about this one, for better or worse.
This is a powdery, effortlessly elegant rose that divides opinion. Some find it beautiful and soft, others a dated headache. It's sadly discontinued, causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth among its devotees.
